 My dear Mr. Deane 



I Inclose BQ-^ml U. 3. Department of Agricul- 

 tujre franks. The one whioh you inclose would have brought the 

 package safely here. We occasionally have plants come in witJi 

 franks several aOxni nitrations old, but of course it Is better to 

 use the new ones. We have also Museum franks which I sometimes 

 use, but they cause me more trouble than the other kind. 



I suppose you have received my new Contributions by this time. 



Yours very tnily, 



Assistant Botanist.
